Between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. Sept. 5, I lost my cell phone at Walmart. It was either dropped in a parking space across from the oil change garage or in the store.

While walking out of the store, I realized I did not have it. I went back to the areas I had been and could not find it. I went to customer service and was told that no one had turned it in. I walked around where I had been retracing my steps while my husband was calling my cell phone number.

I would like to thank all the people who attended the TEA Party on Sept. 12 in Lancaster.

I would also like to give a special thanks to all those who helped organize the event. There were between 475 and 500 who attended.

This is a true grassroots movement that hopefully will help send a message to Washington, D.C. that people are tired of an agenda that continues to try and take away our rights while keeping their hands in our wallets.

It is time once again for the annual Kershaw Hog Jam. This year’s event will be from 6 to 10 p.m., Oct. 9 and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 10. This event is for the young and the young-at-heart. The original cook-off event will not be held this year, due to a low response from the teams that compete for prize money.

However, we are inviting all barbecue cookers, who wish to set up as a food vendor, to join us for our event and sell your delicious barbecue. A trophy will be given to the top four people’s choice based on a panel of anonymous judges.

While the hate group he referred to in his rebuttal may have been originally connected to the not-so-mainstream Southern Democrats, they are currently classified as “extreme right-wing” and as a terrorist organization under the Department of State guidelines.
